I have namechanged as I some nosy family know my posting name, and this isn't about me, its about DD2.
She had tonsillitis in year 9 (she's in U6 now, 18 in 3 months) and went on penicillin which sorted it out, easy peasy.
But it left her with one tonsil enlarged, as in you can see it very clearly, and it has never gone down. This is full of holes (craters really), which get full of white lumps a few times a week, probably food, which make her throat stingThis gives her very bad breath, and she has to dig them out, irritating her throat further.
It hasn't been like this always, but for the last year she has had them almost constantly, though she never has got tonsillitis again. We have tried the whole gargling with anti bacterial mouthwash, which did nothing.
She isn't keen on going to the doctor unless they will actually do something iyswim, so I am really wondering if, as a doctor (or in your experience), you would refer her or consider her as a candidate for a tonsillectomy, or just send her away as in the grand scheme of things its hardly life threatening.
TIA
